Voice Control for iPhone Announced.

[webwise]

I had to wipe the drool off my chin when I read the announcement:

"...Fonix iSpeak™ - a voice activated application for the Apple iPhone™ 3G. Users can initiate several operations simply by speaking the command in natural language. Fonix iSpeak™ connects the user by just saying the phone number or by saying the name of a person in the contacts database. Additionally, users will be able to navigate their music libraries and launch a song or playlist simply by saying the name of the artist, song, or playlist."

Now, c'mon, if you can't get excited about that...

Yeah, thats yet another way to be a bit lazy. Or good if you are busy doing something and need to multi-task.

I don't want it because I'm lazy. I want it for convenience and safety so I can justify using it while I'm driving...

Arrg brings back bad memories. I still haven't found a phone that gets it right the first time i say it. But i have a good feeling about the iPhone because ... well you know ... its the iPhone.

Does anyone have a link for the App Store, or will it be built in to the iPhone?

[webwise]

Yeah, it won't be perfect.

But let's hope it'll be close...

Yeah I sort of forgot the part about safety and driving. Good point Webwise.
